+# No children were passed to <Link>
+
+#### Why This Error Occurred
+
+In your application code `next/link` was used without passing a child:
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+import Link from 'next/link'
+
+export default function Home() {
+  return (
+    <Link href="/about"></Link>
+    // or
+    <Link href='/about' />
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### Possible Ways to Fix It
+
+Make sure one child is used when using `<Link>`:
+
+```js
+import Link from 'next/link'
+
+export default function Home() {
+  return (
+    <Link href="/about">
+      <a>To About</a>
+    </Link>
+  )
+}
+```
